Entering the AiFi Ecological Landscape: These 40+ Projects Are Worth Noting

DeFAI / AiFi will resonate as the main theme of Crypto in 2025.

Written by: KarenZ, Foresight News

In 2025, Crypto + AI will still be the main theme, and among them, DeFi + AI may truly take center stage.

If you are active in the Crypto & AI fields, you must have recently heard the term "DeFAI." However, I prefer to use the term "AiFi," as it is not only more concise, easier to pronounce and remember, but also has a stronger recognition.

Whether it is DeFAI or AiFi, both represent the combination of DeFi and AI, with the ultimate goal of elevating the operational experience of DeFi to a level as natural and smooth as conversing in ChatGPT. This not only provides users with cutting-edge, precise analytical insights and yield strategies but also enables the automated execution of these strategies, eliminating the tediousness of manually accessing trading, staking, and yield-related DApp pages. Additionally, numerous infrastructure projects play an indispensable role in providing frameworks, indexing, data support, encryption, and computation.

At this stage, AiFi projects mainly focus on providing data insight services and simple on-chain interaction processes. Some account abstraction projects have also begun to leverage AI to deepen value research and insight capabilities. Furthermore, there is a growing number of AiFi projects relying on large models and data analysis platforms, which can automatically execute buy and sell operations, filter high-potential yield liquidity pools, and more, based on complex algorithms and user-defined conditions, capturing every fleeting opportunity for users.

In the current market landscape, AiFi applications and technologies are exploring survival and development in their respective independent and fiercely competitive ecosystems. However, in 2025 and in the coming years, as AiFi matures and user demand grows, AiFi may experience explosive growth.

It is foreseeable that more projects will be dedicated to building seamless, intelligent financial services, lowering the barriers to DeFi while providing richer and more profitable DeFi trading and yield strategies, thereby attracting and reaching more ordinary users. Additionally, collaboration among AI agents may also demonstrate its importance in various aspects, cooperating through information sharing, strategy coordination, task allocation, and more. This collaborative model can integrate the advantages of multiple agents, improving the efficiency and quality of task execution, thus achieving more complex task processing and a higher level of intelligence.

This article organizes over 40 AiFi projects based on market insights and three categories: AiFi abstraction layer, infrastructure, and AI-enhanced DeFi applications. However, it is worth noting that although AiFi projects are emerging like mushrooms after rain, many of these projects are still in the internal testing phase or concept stage and have not yet been officially launched.

Market Insights / Abstraction Layer

The AiFi abstraction layer refers to the combination of AI and DeFi, utilizing data platforms to analyze industry data and processing natural language into on-chain operations through large models and AI agents. These operations can include but are not limited to asset swaps, liquidity management, lending, and the implementation of more complex financial strategies, thereby simplifying user experience and automatically executing complex financial strategies, reducing the need for manual intervention. Additionally, leveraging AI's analytical capabilities, AiFi can dynamically adjust strategies in real-time, optimizing investment portfolios based on market changes or user needs.
